An Astarion and Karlach Adventure: Love is a Legendary Action

What happens when Tav strikes out on adventure but leaves Astarion and Karlach from Baldur's Gate 3 behind? You get a romp through the Underdark with new friends and unexpected challenges!

Dungeons & Dragons hosted a star-studded D&D Live show at Gen Con to celebrate the game's 50th anniversary. Fans gathered to a surprise cast including Dungeon Master Aabria Iyengar and players Anjali Bhimani, Brennan Lee Mulligan, Neil Newbon, and Samantha Béart. The ensuing adventure showcased the 2024 rules update and gave fans an early look at Project Sigil, the immersive 3d sandbox from Wizards of the Coast.

Astarion and Karlach from Baldur’s Gate 3 strike out on their own adventure after Tav doesn’t choose them for their adventuring party, meeting new friends and encountering challenges as they explore the Underdark.
